LD45 — Start with nothing (1)

Tightrope Gauntlet by Jonno 2019-10-20T01:58:12Z ♥ 1

Overall, solid game! Top improvement would be to add a tutorial: I found the controls a bit confusing to start out with; it's rare to have a game that you have to both jump AND land (though I ended up liking that a fair bit!). Similarly, I thought I could just shoot and kill enemies from the start, and not until a few playthroughs did I realize I have to first get the weapons

I definitely enjoyed the game, especially after the first playthrough (when I figured out that I had no job options).

As a game mechanics thing, it was pretty untransparent how everything worked. I'd suggest a tutorial, some text framing, or anything to say that you should get through life. These don't take much dev time and can go a long way to making the experience better.

Otherwise, small nits are it'd help to spend less time doing the boring stuff (e.g., walking; walking could be soooo much faster). Great work though! I thought the sound and graphics went well together; it feels like an old Pokemon game where you're really just living life.

I love the basic game mechanism of making sure that you're maintaining your different tiles! Second the suggestions about perma-left clicking. I think this game really is great as-is though; I don't think it needs to be more goal driven, but maybe it would be good to take it the direction of Neko Atsume: a relaxing, atmospheric game that's just engaging enough to play when you want a break, surrounded by beautiful sounds and graphics.Capture.PNG
